How many watches in a perfect collection - Your thoughts?

I've been given more than 5 as gifts so that category doesn't work for me. Maybe a watchbox with 12 slots would be the smallest I could live with.

Depends on what you want out of the collection. I found nine was right for the variety I wanted in my primary collection.

There is no perfect collection. Do what you need to do.

I have 10 at the moment. I'm pretty much done with collecting for a long while (maybe one more lol) after all, my box only has 12 slots and the 2 remaining are filled with my dad's watch and a fitted bracelet. I bought a nice box to limit myself lol

I'm stealing from someone's comment to a similar question before.

x + 2 with x being the number of watches you currently own and plus 2 so you can have a list and so your next watch isn't your last watch. Also, I have 2 watch boxes (7 and 5 slots respectively) and only have 2 slots left (so I'm in the market for 2 more watches to "complete" my collection and then a 3d watch box).

There is no perfect number everyone has there own reasons they collect and the number of watches each person has is the perfect number for them

I have 20+, but some are basically toys & others were gifts.

For my own curated collection, I think 6 is a good number. One diver, one dress, one field, one Flieger, one GADA & a beater like a G-Shock.

I think it in part depends on how long you have been collecting. Say 20 in one year would be excessive but over 30 years not so much.

It’s around 10…I mean for the core collection of course. You need 3-5 sub-collections as well.

I can’t set the bar for anyone else’s collection but for me I always wanted to stick to around 30 watches so I can where something new every day of the Month. That being said in head for every day of the year 😅

3-24

the more, the better ? Why stop at 3 if there's more watch you'd like to own ?

Figured out I have 29 total, 15 in the core collection (meaning I actually wear them). I'm happy and it's different for everyone.

I think between 10 - 20

All the watches!

I wish I could say 3-5 but it’s not possible for me 😂😂

It all depends on the individual. My idea of the perfect watch collection will be different from the next man. Some want their collections to have divers #divewatch others want dressy pieces #jaegerlecoultre . Some may not care for any of these. All depends on the person

For me, less is more. Higher quality over quantity any day. Six or seven, one in one out, gradually upgraded. Suits me, we're all different !

If I own X number of watches, I always need X+1

Well I have a house, and there’s plenty of empty space to fill……..

Hilarious how the options jumped from 5 to 20+ haha I think 8 +1 is a nice moderate/sane number.

Lollllll. From what I can tell, most people on this app have wayyy too many watches. But then again... in theory you can't have too many watches. 😁

As romantic as the idea of 1 watch is, it's impractical for me. I think a perfect collection would be 3, a more ideal 5, and more realistically up to 10, but there is no limit
